Loading ...had a good reversal down today and gapped down in after hours trading. If it closes lower tomorrow, it will be a key reversal and should follow through to the downside.

Re part:
“Reagan arguably turned out to be one of the greatest Presidents of the 20th Century.”
Comment:
I used to get the Spotlight (the paper you can trust) in those days. Reagan was approached by TPTB to take Bush as a running mate, and they agreed to finance his campaign.
So, in reality, Bush was the real president, and Reagan was used to glean the votes. If you were in manufacturing, or if you were a country like the USA, during the “Reagan” years, ’81-’89, you and the country got SCREWED royally screwed.
It was the early years of outsourcing, globalization. In fact, to stimulate our economy the “alleged US gov’t,” and their media, called it the Reagan defense build up but with USA tax dollars.
They also pulled another pro foreign anti American stunt during poor Reagan. They gave a 5 year tax right off (instead of 10 years) to “make” US businesses buy expensive capital equipment.
Guess what they bought. All foreign made equipment, mostly from Japan, Korea and China. After 1980 the trade deficits and budget deficits all got bigger, and wages went lower.
“They” in Reagans name busted all the Unions, starting with the United Auto workers, (media said they get paid too much and are ruining the country) and Air Traffic Controllers.
Their media made it embarrassing to even be in a union. And HERE we are, 2016, and we have a “Union Of Governments” that has ruined the US economy.

Like a once-victorious barbarian general captured by Roman legionaries and paraded around in chains for amusement, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is hitting the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton again on Monday afternoon.
The formerly independent, formerly principled senator is making a stop at a Clinton campaign rally in Fort Collins, Colorado, to try to convince his laid-back, hemp-clad supporters in the Centennial State to vote for a woman almost entirely opposed to what he and his primary campaign stood for.”

Enjoyed your posts today, good stuff.
Best, Farmboy
Maddog @ 14:51 Excellent !
You just made my day. The more they whine and squirm, the stronger grows my belief that Trump challenges the Corruption and Greed that the current system represents, in both parties. Go Trump !

Not smart by Kerry aka Lurch aka Swiftboat, he has now alerted the Web generation and they will not take kindly to Web threats…many were Bernie voters and now they will swap to Trump.

Reddit users have been sharing the powerful poem “First they came…” written Pastor Martin Niemöller about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazi’s rise to power.
“‘First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.’
Our government is corrupt; I will continue to speak out if it is the last thing I do,” wrote one user, exploring the theory that the U.S. government is the unnamed “state party” behind the latest alleged internet attack on Assange.
Many have been connecting Assange’s alleged internet severing with his release of sensitive material on Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president. Clinton’s team has suggested WikiLeaks is working with the Russian government to help Donald Trump’s chances of winning.
“So far there had been no intervention by outside entities to attempt to silence Julian Assange, so the latest intervention “by a state party”, if confirmed would be a notable escalation in the status quo, and suggests that Wikileaks may have even more damaging revelations to come,” reports
He’s a moron
I promise if you read to the end, you will flip out! Don’t skip to the end.
“He’s nothing but a B-List TV personality. He has no business being in
politics.”
“He’s been divorced and remarried. He can’t commit to anything.”
“He’s dangerously ignorant about international affairs. The Russian
leaders will walk all over him.”
“He has no filter – doesn’t think before he speaks.”
“Until recently, he was a Democrat. He’s not a real Republican. He
hasn’t paid his GOP dues.”
“He used to be Pro Choice. Now, suddenly he’s Pro Life?”
“That can’t be his real hair!”
“He’s a loose cannon. No one wants HIS finger on the nuclear button.”
“His opponent has the experience and political savvy to be president.
He does not.”
“He’s just not presidential.”
“His temperament disqualifies him from ever being Commander-In-Chief.”
“He’s proven himself to be mentally unstable.”
“The military will never accept him as Commander-In-Chief. He’s not
smart enough.”
“The GOP doesn’t want him to be the head of the party. He could never
reach across the aisle to get anything done.”
“Most Republican voters will just stay home rather than go out and
vote for him.”
“Evangelicals will never support him.”
“He says ‘(Let’s) Make America Great Again’. How dare he say we
aren’t still great?”
“His intellect is thinner than spit on a slate rock.” “90 percent of
Republican state chairmen judge him guilty of ‘simplistic approaches,’
with ‘no depth in federal government administration’ and ‘no
experience in
foreign affairs.'”
“His spontaneity with reporters and voters plays well but also gives
him plenty of space to disgorge fantasies and factual errors so
prolific and often outrageous
that he single-handedly makes the word gaffe a permanent fixture in
America ’s political vernacular. He confuses Pakistan with Afghanistan
. He claimed once that trees contributed 93 percent of the
atmosphere’s nitrous oxide…”
“After all his gaffs, he doubles down on them instead of admitting he
made a mistake.”
“He’s threatening to upend our treaties and relationships with our
allies by demanding that they pay for their own defense!”
“Because of his gross factual errors he might take rash action and
needlessly lead this country into open warfare!”
“He’s racist, xenophobic, and fuels the fires of hatred!”
“You shouldn’t take him seriously. He has a penchant for offering
simplistic solutions to hideously complex problems and a stubborn
insistence that he is always
right in every argument.”
“The rising turnout of his voters are not loyal Republicans or
Democrats and are alienated from both parties because neither takes a
sympathetic view toward their
issues.”
“The fact that he could be deemed a serious candidate for president is
a shame and embarrassment for the country.”
“His unpopular opponent presided over the current Iranian crisis…
and a reeling economy, yet surely the Democrat will prevail over him.”
“Is he Safe? …he shoots from the hip … he’s over his head … What are
his solutions?”
“Voters want to follow some authority figure, — a leader who can take
charge with authority; return a sense of discipline to our government;
and, manifest the
willpower needed to get this country back on track — Or at least a
leader from outside Washington

Sound familiar? You’ve heard this over and over about Donald Trump, right?
Try Again. All this was said of Ronald Reagan in 1976 and 1980. Most
of it was “BY OTHER REPUBLICANS” and Reagan arguably turned out to be
one of the greatest Presidents of the 20th Century.

My View? Re Metals? US Dollar Manually Adjusted Up Since Early Dec
No sense looking at metals charts. Just look at the Adjusto/Dollar chart. When Trump gets in and announces USA Brexit, the dollar will get adjusted lower. Nothing is a coincidence.
As for the election? The status quo global invisible shadow gov’t that was in charge over many US presidents for decades? They are actually going AGAINST themselves for future benefit.
The same way fishermen and hunters obey bag limits for their own benefit. The status quo global powers redistributed too much USA wealth away to foreign nations, until the bottom fell out in 2008.

The Odor of Desperation
It must be obvious even to nine-year-old casual observers of the scene that the US national election is hacking itself. It doesn’t require hacking assistance from any other entity. The two major parties could not have found worse candidates for president, and the struggle between them has turned into the most sordid public spectacle in US electoral history.
Of course, the Russian hacking blame-game story emanates from the security apparatus controlled by a Democratic Party executive establishment desperate to preserve its perks and privileges . (I write as a still-registered-but-disaffected Democrat). The reams of released emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, and other figures in HRC’s employ, depict a record of tactical mendacity, a gleeful eagerness to lie to the public, and a disregard for the world’s opinion that are plenty bad enough on their own. And Trump’s own fantastic gift for blunder could hardly be improved on by a meddling foreign power. The US political system is blowing itself to pieces.
I say this with the understanding that political systems are emergent phenomena with the primary goal of maintaining their control on the agencies of power at all costs. That is, it’s natural for a polity to fight for its own survival. But the fact that the US polity now so desperately has to fight for survival shows how frail its legitimacy is. It wouldn’t take much to shove it off a precipice into a new kind of civil war much more confusing and irresolvable than the one we went through in the 1860s.
Events and circumstances are driving the US insane literally. We can’t construct a coherent consensus about what is happening to us and therefore we can’t form a set of coherent plans for doing anything about it. The main event is that our debt has far exceeded our ability to produce enough new wealth to service the debt, and our attempts to work around it with Federal Reserve accounting fraud only make the problem worse day by day and hour by hour. All of it tends to undermine both national morale and living standards, while it shoves us into the crisis I call the long emergency.
It’s hard to see how Russia benefits from America becoming the Mad Bull of a floundering global economy. Rather, the Evil Russia meme seems a projection of our country’s own insecurities and contradictions. For instance, we seem to think that keeping Syria viciously destabilized is preferable to allowing its legitimate government to restore some kind of order there. Russia has been on the scene attempting to prop up the Assad government while we are on the scene there doing everything possible to keep a variety of contestants in a state of incessant war. US policy in Syria has been both incoherent and tragically damaging to the Syrians.
The Russians stood aside while the US smashed up Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. We demonstrated adequately that shoving sovereign nations into civic failure is not the best way to resolve geopolitical tensions. Why would it be such a bad thing for the US to stand aside in Syria and see if the Russians can rescue that country from failure? Because they might keep a naval base there on the Mediterranean? We have scores of military bases around the region.
It’s actually pretty easy to understand why the Russians might be paranoid about America’s intentions. We use NATO to run threatening military maneuvers near Russia’s borders. We provoked Ukraine — formerly a province of the Soviet state — to become a nearly failed state, and then we complained foolishly about the Russian annexation of Crimea — also a former territory of the Soviet state and of imperial Russia going back centuries. We slapped sanctions on Russia, making it difficult for them to participate in international banking and commerce.
What’s really comical is the idea that Russia is using the Internet to mess with our affairs — as if the USA has no cyber-warfare ambitions or ongoing operations against them (and others, such as hacking Angela Merkel’s personal phone). News flash: every country with access to the Internet is in full hacking mode around the clock against every other country so engaged. Everybody’s doing it. It is perhaps a projection o

Rick’s Pick for Monday
Is Platinum Warning Of a Market Crash?
Posted Sunday, October 16, at 6:08 p.m. ET
[Cam Fitzgerald posted the comments below in the Ricks’ Picks forum on Friday, but I am emailing them to all subscribers because his point — that the steep drop in platinum may be warning of a stock market collapse — deserves a wider audience. Cam, whose forum handle is ‘Farmer’, has made some prescient calls in the past. He is also the first person from whom I learned, years ago, that pesticides contained neurotoxins that were killing off the world’s honey bee population. Cam’s ‘platinum indicator’ could have bearish implications for gold as well, since price action in the former often leads the latter. In this case, platinum’s 22.5% plunge since mid-August has more than doubled gold’s 9.5% drop. This is shown in the charts below. For the record, Rick’s Picks‘ outlook for gold recently turned cautious due to the hard selling that has occurred so far in October. I haven’t given up on the idea that the powerful rally in precious metals begun early in 2016 is the nascent stage of a bull market that will run for years. However, technically speaking, the yellow flag is out, and I am no longer bottom-fishing in mining stocks at this time. RA]
